NCrystal is an open source package for modelling thermal neutron interactions. It provides neutron cross sections and scattering events for various crystalline and amorphous materials, considering both elastic, inelastic, coherent, and incoherent components. These are computed on-the-fly from the phonon density of states and structural properties of the material. NCrystal also allows to load pre-computed scattering kernels (S(Q,w) tables) and extend the physics using plugins.

NCrystal provides an API for interfacing with C++, C and Python, as well as "hooks" to call it from different radiation transport and raytracing software packages: Geant4, McStas, OpenMC, Neutron Cinema and TOUCANS, among others. These tools can be used to simulate neutron scattering instruments, and analyze the results from different transmission experiments.
